I'm really loving the step by step paint along tutorials. My novice girl friend is just getting into Middle Earth and having some up to date, quality guides has been a godsend for both of us! The shopping list of paints is super useful too. Please do more of these!
Would love to see some preparation for the Rohan at War book coming and maybe see some Uruk-Hai painting tips. And maybe, one day do some army tactics talks, going through a different army and speaking about what tactics/models are good and some ideas on how to run them
Very nice! Contrast paints really appear to work well on the Wargs with the drybrush bringing out the texture. By serendipity I am due to start painting 20 Warg Riders for the "when wargs attack" scenario tomorrow and after watching this vid I will certainly go the contrast route for all but the characters. Thanks for posting.
@@Zorpazorp I tried the contrast paints out today for the first time on those 3rd rate mordor orcs we all have laying about unpainted. (You know, the ones in the naff poses that will only ever see the tabletop if you play that scenario in the very first ever book that needs 240 orcs). I was still not impressed with the paints and had to use "normal" paints to tidy them up afterwards to even make them acceptable. Overall it didn't save much time on the normal way I speed paint but after tidying up they didn't look much worse either. So I suppose you pays your money and you takes your choice. Will still give them a go on the Wargs but not the riders I think.
For metal try grey or black contrast and then drybrush with leadbelcher or silver. I heard the results are great, even better then combination of leadbelcher and nuln oil.
Love this video - I remembered it from when it first came out; and now I have my own Golfimbul so definitely using this recipe. Just quickly - I also have a sharku model to paint. Would mixing a skin tone and a red have a similar effect to the Golfimbul skin, or would it turn out too pink?
